no, the Tour de France cyclists do have a rest at least once a week as they did last Wednesday I think.

You see, he is Cadel Evans. He not only lost his yellow jersey (I'm not talking putting it down somewhere and then not being able to remember where) but he has gone down to third. He looked as sick as an Australin parrot. He is having a rest day today but I bet he'll be out on his bike just the same.
Cadel Evans does have a weird accent sort of a cross between Scotish and Australian. Odd that. Turnipsock, you had a very muddy bottom on Sunday, did you fall off or was it tyre spray? I notice these thing you know.

Cadel Evans is an anagram of Dance Slave. I think that proves it conclusively.

I doubt it, most cyclists have two left feet. It helps with cornering!

What about the right and left foot for each pedal that most cyclists need including the Tour de France ones??

They drive on the Right in Europe - France so yes they do need their right feet otherwise why would the cyclists put their feet on a RIGHT PEDAL !!

Just saw a baby on a bike get to the top of the big climb first today, sadly he took a corner too fast on the other side and went off down the hill. The baby was rescued by a spectator but the bike carried on down the hill the quick way. He still managed to get back in 35th place but how he did it without his bike, I don't know.

Cadel is going to get left for dead tomorrow. Turnipsock is ready for them but as he is billy no mates he hasn't got a good team to help him...ahhhh!

We will see whether that Aussie Cadel Evans or Turnipsock will get there and I reckon it will be Evans,

It finishes at the Champ D'Elysses on Sunday.
